a journey into the creative process
... letting your soul speak and step into the world is often like watching a dream unfold. accepting things to happen, witness your unconscious manifest itself .... these are precious moments when I manage to let my mind and
ego take a back seat ...

About me
My life, divided between 26 years spent in urban environments
(Paris, New York, Berlin) and that of remote country and nature
(Mallorca), had a profound influence on the way I relate to the world around me.
​
As unimagined new technology pulls our existence forward, I participate in part with great curiosity and excitement but also with the fear of an ultimate loss of control... and humanity.
​
The pull between the two worlds influenced an expression between the figurative and the abstract. The constructed and the expressive. To find a way of bringing order, rhythm and wildness together.
​
My work is an examination of the question that arises within these contrasts:
​
How can our natural instinct guide us in this new digitalised world?
How do we make sense of the chaos that results from it?
How do we stay in touch with nature and the wilderness that we so long for and we are trying to save...?
